Sex in Fowls.

"Having seen some discussion
about the shape of eggs to determine
SEX" says a correspondent of the
Farming World, 81 can say from ex-
perience that to obtain the desired re-
suits, or Proclamation of either sex,
you have to mate fowls as follows:
For cockerels, mate a one year old
cockerel with hens not more than
two years old, and you will get the
desired results, For breeding pullets
mate a three year old cock with
one year old hens. l have never had
any exception to this rule"

Words of Wisdom.

Better face a danger once than al
ways be in fear.
Borrowing money is a bad habit,
and borrowing trouble is no better.
A fool always finds one still more
foolish to admire him.
Charms strike the sight, but merit
wins the soul.
He who buys what he does not
want will soon want what he cannot
buy.
Tea, which everybody knows and
drinks, consists of many varieties,
each called by a distinctive name,
which, though familiar in sound, is
not so in meaning. These names are
significant and poetical:
"Congou'' signifies "Labor''.
"Souchong" means Little Sprouts"
"Pekoe," "White Down."
"Oolong," is "Black Dragon"
"Hungnoey," cred Plum"
"Hyson." "Fair Spring."
"Twankay," "Beacon Brook"

The Ideal Novel.

The editor of Book Chat denounces,
in round terms, the belief that the
ideal novel is one in which the reader
cannot lay the book down until the
story is finished. He says: "This is
a favorite expression in referring to
sensational fiction. 1t delights the
author, and to the general public,
seems to embody the requisite of an
idel novel. The real meaning, force
and application. of the phrase is
worthy of attention. A novel which
cannot be laid down until the story
is finished, can safely be said to be a
work that will not live. 1t may be
popular, itmay be graphic and bright,
yet it lacks some essential for a per-
manent life. Consider the great
novels of the past that are living to-
day, and see if this can be said of any
of them. Who would be willing to
read Dickens, Thackery, or George
Eliot through at one sitting? The
delight we find in them is in quietly
living with the characters, learning
their joys and sorrows, becoming
moreintimate with their peculiarities,
loving their personality, joying in
their success, sympathizing in their
failure"

Shetland Ponies.
american Agriculturist.

American Agriculturist.
There is an unfailing interest at
taching to these little horses-it may
be for the reason that they are so fit
ted to be petted and made to play
tricks; but there is a better reason
than either of these, and it lies in the
fact hat there is a deal of good SER
vice within the diminutive beasts Ca
paeity. We do not put them to any
severe test on this behalf in this
courtry-here they find the end of
existence in laboring for the pleasure
of the little ones-but in their native
Scotland they enjoy no perpetual
holiday, for there they are literal
beasts of burden, undergoing heavy
tasks, bearing men who easily could
carry them, and carrying burdens
which would not be considered light
if laden upon horses of ordinary size,
In the native condition sat home,''
the Sheltie is long-haired, shaggy in
truth, with an abundant name, anG
luxuriant foretop, and blessed with
tail of, for itself, formidable dimen.
sions. But these peculiarities are MOI
disfgurments, because they comporr
with the country-bleak, wind-swep'
islands, where Nature must give
extra covering to her children, o.
leave them to perish. Change o
climate, however, gives new charac
teristics, and the second or thir(
generation, begotten under more
favorable conditions, presents well
nigh a new type, which is, to thu
hairy ancestry, somewhat as the orig
inal English pony is to its improved
defendants.

Money in Circulation.

AT the present time, ~deducting the
money held by the Treasury and the
banks, the amount of circulation
really in the hands of the people can
hardly fall, says the Baltimore Sun,
much short of 5000, 900 900, or about
$l6.25 to everyman, woman and child
in the country. This amount amply
sufices for the business needs of the
United States, supplemented, as it is,
by the use of checks and drafts. So
extensive is the use of checks and
drafts at the present time, alongside
of coin and other recognized forms of
money, that it may be questioned
whether the quantity of cash in a
community is as much now as form
erly a measure of its prosperity. On
the 18th of September, 1881, the total
receipts of the national banks of New
York, in other reserve cities, and OF
the banks elsewhere in the United
States, aggregated $2O5, 1888, 779, but OF
this amount only 1888 per cent was in
gold, OH per cent in silver, and 4'3f
per cent in paper currency, while
94'09 per cent we're in checks, drafts,
etc. In New York city less than one
per cent of the payments were made
in gold or in currency, while 1885,
per cent were in checks and drafts
From this exhibit of the amount O.
business transacted in one day and il
a few cities by means other than golt
or silver coin or currency, it is evi
dent that the silver enthusiast ant
the greenbacker may very we'll over
estimate the Importance of their re
spective hobbies.

a white horse near by. l also read

Guiding his story of the red headed
girl and the dead white horse. / de-

funniest instance occurred this after

horse" Hooked out of the window,
and there, sure enough, just turning,

122 Years Old.

Amy Avant a colored woman on
the plantation Of Major James Reaves,
in Marion County, S. c., died a few
day ago, of measles, at the advanc-
ed age of 122 years. She was re-
markably well preserved, and re-
tanned all her faculties up to the time
of her fatal illness, previous to which
she claimed that she had never taken
a dose of medicine. During the last
cotton picking season, she took her
place regularly in the cotton fields
and always performed a good days
work. Her age is well attested by
family records.

Stings of Bees--How to Allay the Pain

Nearly every boy or girl, whether
living in the country or city, has at
some time been stung, by either a bee
or a wasp. AT the time of the sting
the pain has so occupied the attention
that you did not stop to consider
whether the sting was inflicted by a
bee or a wasp,nor did you at the same
time admire the mechanism by which
the sting was inflicted. All are aware
the sting is actually painful, and that
it is afflicted by one-the rear, OF tail
end of the insect. Some n has
humorously called this the business
end' of the insect. All should know
that a drop of Water of Ammonia,
(often called "Spirits of Hartshorn''),
applied to the place will usually at
once relieve the pain caused by these
stings, as well as those of the mos
quito. If ammonia is not at hand, a
little baking soda, mixed into a stiff
paste with water, may be applied,
In the absence of both of these, apply
a plaster of mud. If no application
can be made, the pain will soon pass
away, and we may then well consid.
er how the wound was inflicted
